I'm trying to make RTSP streams open up using VLC as the default DVDPlayer is very blocky for me with rtsp streams, while VLC works a lot smoother.

I have edited my playercorefactory.xml to:

<playercorefactory>
<players>
<player name="vlc" type="ExternalPlayer" audio="false" video="true">
<filename>C:\Media\VLC\VLC.exe</filename>
<args>--fullscreen</args>
<hideconsole>true</hideconsole>
<hidecursor>true</hidecursor>
<forceontop>true</forceontop>
</player>
</players>
<rule protocol="rtsp" player="vlc"/>
<rules action="prepend">
<rule filetypes="avi" filename="*.avi" player="vlc"/>
</rules>
</playercorefactory>



but no luck, it stll opens with the default DVD player. Any idea where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

There's an obvious error in your XML. You've put the "rtsp" rule outside the <rules></rules> tags.

If it still doesn't work Enable debug logging from System settings, System, Debugging, and restart XBMC then wait a minute or two for all the startup tasks to finish. Now try to play an rtsp stream then close XBMC.

Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Thanks that fixed it

Such a stupid error on my part!

I have come across a slight problem though

Even though it's only RTSP in the settings, RTMP streams load in VLC too. Any way I can make it only load RTSP in VLC, but RTMP in xbmc?

Thanks
